“Unnatural unions are the true Nature spanning the kingdoms of nature … they are entirely heterogenous … a becoming rhizomatical … a becoming communicative or contagious … a creative involution … a multiplicity” – Deleuze and Guattari

“Decadence is the expression of civilisations which have grown old … full of delicate refinements … contours vague and fleeting … confessions of depraved passions and the odd hallucinations of a fixed idea turning to madness. Decadence must be expressed in language already, veined with the greeness of decomposition … it has become inevitable now that an artificial life has replaced a natural one and developed subjects who do not know their own needs.” – Theopile Gautier

“When that day dawns, or sunset reddens, how joyous we shall all be! Facts will be regarded as discernible, Truth will be found mourning over her fetters, and Romance, with her temper of wonder, will return to the land. The very aspect of the world will change to our startled eyes … Dragons will wander about the waste places, and the phoenix will soar from her nest of fire into the air.” – Oscar Wilde

“I am joyful and light of heart! I reveal to you dazzling prospects with paradises in the clouds and distant felicities. I fill your hearts with the eternal follies, plans for happiness, projects for the future, dreams of glory, declarations of love & virtuous resolutions. I urge you to embark on perilous travels and vast undertakings … to search for new perfumes, bigger flowers, unknown pleasures.” – Gustave Flaubert

“Are we who live in the present doomed never to experience autonomy, never to stand for one moment on a bit of land ruled only by freedom? … Defy boredom, experience true freedom & participate!” -Hakim Bey

“Pure lust names the high humour, hope and cosmic accord of those … who choose to escape, to follow their hearts’ deepest desire & bound out of the State of Bondage, Wander- and Wonder-lusting with the elements, connecting with auras of animals and plants, moving in planetary communion with the furthest stars. This lust is in its essence astral. It is pure Passion: unadulterated, absolute, simple sheer striving for abundance of be-in” – Mary Daly
